Legendary Librarian System

Liu Wei communicated with the System.

"What are the other library rooms I can open? I want to open them all since they only cost 10 System Points."

[You have unlocked the basic level of Agricultural Domain and Alchemy Domain. There are other rooms that are still locked.

I won't explain them since they are self-explanatory.

The Beast Breeding Grounds, the Artifact Forging Domain, Training Domain, Enlightenment Realm, Formation Labyrinth Realm, Talisman Workshop, and Historical Archive Hall.

Do note that unlocking them all will unlock the Grand Index Hall.]

Liu Wei's eyes widened.

His interest was piqued.

He said, "Does that mean the library will have a complete change? It won't appear ordinary anymore."

The System replied.

[That's right. After all, the Library can't accommodate many people. In fact, just even a single person doesn't want to stay for a long time and would rather continue reading the book elsewhere. With the Grand Index Hall, others will be able to stay in the library for a long time. In fact, they will also be able to gain access to the other rooms as long as you want to.]

Liu Wei was surprised.

The System continued.

[Of course, like other rooms, the Grand Index Hall has levels. However, you don't need to spend System Points. As soon as you meet the requirements, it will evolve.]

Liu Wei pondered for a while and replied, "Since I will only be unlocking the Grand Index Hall as soon as I unlock all the rooms, then the requirements should be the level of the rooms I have unlocked. If they all reach the intermediate levels, the Grand Index Hall will reach the intermediate level, as well."

[Your speculation is accurate! I have never thought a dimwit like you can actually think logically.]

Liu Wei rolled his eyes and did not bother with his sarcastic remarks.

He said, "Will that affect my personal room, too?"

[Well, if you don't want to.]

Liu Wei snorted.

"I'm not surprised at how you treat your librarian."

The System chuckled.

[Of course, your personal room will be refurbished to be as comfortable as the resting spot in the Grand Index Hall. I can't bear to see my librarian sleeping everywhere and not in his personal room.]

Liu Wei's mouth twitched.

"You just don't want to see me sleeping in the Grand Index Hall or any other rooms."

[If you want to think that way, I can't force you to change it.]

Liu Wei shrugged.

He pondered.

I'm curious about the Grand Index Hall. And like what the System had said, the visitors would rather read the books elsewhere.

Liu Wei thought for a while and asked, "Will there be any changes to the rules, too? Like the books can not be borrowed unless stated by the mission and they will only be able to read it here."

The System replied in a surprised tone.

[You're being quick-witted now. I was planning on only telling you once you have finally unlocked it.]

Liu Wei furrowed his eyebrows and contemplated for a while.

He asked, "Why is that?"

[To encourage them to stay in the library, of course. After all, there is a lot to explore, even the other rooms they can gain access to as long as you allow them.]

Liu Wei was surprised that the System gave him the permission for the full authority of the other rooms.

He thought.

I guess it makes sense since I will be the one paying for them.

He said to the System, "Alright, unlock all the basic rooms for now."

[Granted. I will unlock them each and will provide brief descriptions of what to expect inside the room.]

Liu Wei nodded. "Mhm."

[You have spent 10 System Points to open the Beast Breeding Grounds.

At the basic level, there is a small forest clearing where basic spirit beasts roam, like wolves, rabbits, and birds.

Beasts will grow faster slightly faster due to stable Qi flow.

A weak beast-taming resonance field helps calm creatures.

However, at this point you can only manual feed or tame them.]

Liu Wei nodded and compared it to the Agricultural Domain.

The Agricultural Domain has more resources than the Beast Breeding Grounds.

However, I have not explored it yet, so I can't fully judge. Let's see in the future.

The System continued.

[You have spent 10 System Points on the Artifact Forging Domain.

At the basic level, there is a small-forge with spirit-nourished fire, which is definitely hotter and purer than mortal flame.

Ordinary ores here become slightly more malleable and responsive to forging.

Basic tools resonate faintly with intent, improving hammer rhythm.

Weapons forged here hold longer durability than normal.

In other words, you can expect that even at its basic level, you won't find another Artifact Forging Domain room in the Mortal World.]

Liu Wei was taken aback by the System's confidence.

Nevertheless, he did not doubt her boastful claims as he nodded.

In fact, he appreciated the System for providing him an idea about how precious his rooms were compared to the other rooms in the Mortal World.

It simply means that his library would be otherworldly and those customers, who would be able to train in his room would definitely become famous in a matter of time.

The System continued.

[You have spent 10 System Points to open the Training Domain.

At the basic level, the room has a basic sparring ground with Qi-enriched air, providing faster stamina recovery.

There is an adjustable Qi density to slightly improve training difficulty.

There are weak sparring puppets that react with predictable combat patterns.

A gentle resonance hum exists to help stabilize breathing techniques.

Although at its basic level, it's quite useless to you since due to your comprehension level, it will still be a huge help for you when it comes to gaining experience.]

Liu Wei nodded.

The System was right.

In fact, he needed the Training Domain rather than the Artifact Forging Domain.

As he was comparing the Training Domain to Artifact Forging Domain, he recalled Duan Li.

The next she visits, she must certainly try the Artifact Forging Domain. It might offer her a breakthrough in her level.

Liu Wei smiled.

Of course, like the Alchemy Domain, he was interested in forging artifacts as well.

To become an artisan.

However, even finding time to concoct pills at the moment was quite difficult for him.

Hence, he decided to practice forging once he would be free from his hectic schedule.

The System continued.

[You have spent 10 System Points to open the Enlightenment Realm.

At the basic level, it has a single mirror that reflects your Qi flow and Dao aura.

The mirror stabilizes the heart, granting clarity and calmness during meditation.

If you sit long enough, it may reveal subtle Dao ripples of your affinity.

A Soft Dao resonance mist fills the room, improving focus.

If you plan to open the Enlightenment Realm for, let's say, ten cultivators at once to train them, the single mirror will still be able to cover them by enlarging itself. Like the Alchemy Domain's pill furnace, it also has a spirit inside.]

Liu Wei nodded after receiving the System's advice.

He replied, "Thank you. I appreciate it."

The System did not reply and continued.

[You have spent 10 System Points to open the Formation Labyrinth Realm.

At the basic level, it has a small glowing grid where simple 3-node formations can be drawn and tested.

Arrays benefit from mild auto-stabilization, which has less chance of collapse.

It can simulate Qi flow through formations to preview weak points.

Runes drawn here appear brighter, making errors easier to see.

In case you are not sure what this room is, the Formation Labyrinth Realm is basically the "practice sandbox" for formations and arrays. In the Mortal Realm, or even in the higher realm, formations are usually very expensive and risky to test in reality — they need rare materials, consume lots of Qi, and if they collapse, they can explode or drain the cultivator.

This is why the Formation Labyrinth Realm is important if you want to learn array formations. With it, you can test, debug, and eventually invent new formations, without wasting resources or blowing yourself up.]

Array formation…

Liu Wei's eyes sparkled.

He would not deny how intriguing learning array formation was.

After all, array formation was always present in the fantasy genre of fictions, and learning them could actually heal Liu Wei's inner child.

His mouth curled upward.

I will learn formation next then, after learning alchemy.

The System continued.

[You have spent 10 System Points to open the Talisman Workshop.

At the basic level, the workshop has a special paper and ink that enhance Qi conductivity, improving success rates slightly.

Your drawing speed will be faster, and failed talismans don't combust but dissolve harmlessly.

The workshop provides a faint resonance grid, which stabilizes weak scripts.

Lastly, Talismans last slightly longer than ones drawn outside.

You know, becoming a talisman might be challenging, but with the Talisman Workshop, you already have an upperhand.]

Liu Wei nodded.

Of course, it would always depend on if he would be interested in learning to be a talisman.

Nevertheless, at the moment, knowing how many tasks he has to focus on, he was still not interested.

The System continued.

She was about to open the last room Liu Wei could finally have access to.

[You have spent 10 System Points to open the Historical Archive Hall.

At the basic level, it has view-only illusions of history with sound and partial immersion, as though you are standing in the scene directly.

The replay speed can be adjusted, for you to slower/faster study deeply.

Its archive automatically translates ancient languages for easier understanding.

The scenes project faint Dao ripples, letting you feel emotions and pressure of the past.]
